Metallica's first 5 albums were great but they've gone super downhill since then. Kill Em All and the Black Album are great. Master of Puppets is excellent but has been over hyped to absolute death (best metal album ever? LOL okay then.) And Justice for All is also excellent. But the only real classic they've had is ride the lightning in my opinion which is amazing.

Hell I like Metallica a lot, used to love them but they are slightly overrated tbh.

At least there is always a killer song on every one of their albums

King nothing
Fuel
No leaf clover
Some kind of monster
Cyanide

A7x just lost me with Nightmare...every song sounds like they follow a formula....metal verse, pop chorus...and they already did that before with Afterlife and I hated that song even back then. Maybe I should try the new album if it's different.

I liked the first two records then they lost me ever since. They got my attention again when they released "Nightmare", had a hand full of solid tracks but it got old fast. They are vastly over rated and redundant, talented dudes, don't get me wrong but once they found success with the rock thing, everything started to blend. Slower songs they are decent at, the mid-paced typical 4/4 stuff is way to bland...Heavier stuff has always been there strong suit but beyond that, nothing I'll remember whenever they decide to go away.

Metallica didnt start going downhill until Reload I thought, Load was a good album but fans didnt like it because it was a more mainstream direction for the band. Death Magnetic was good considering their age. In my opinion Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath were better bands but Metallica is still a great band.
